I did that Jill -- in suburbia -- it was great fun.Shawn Kieltyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00469674196996662547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1162482859204611612006-11-02T07:54:00.000-08:002006-11-02T07:54:00.000-08:00On a completely random note, did you ever register...On a completely random note, did you ever register to vote Jill?nicknhttp://anyn.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1162478689624380802006-11-02T06:44:00.000-08:002006-11-02T06:44:00.000-08:00Hilarious.

All this paranoid worry about sugar and the .0000009 percent chance that some whacko might tamper with your kid's candy has taken all the fun out of Halloween.<BR/><BR/>I grew up in a small town in the Midwest, where parents would let anyone about 8 years or older roam freely to trick-or-treat. We burned more calories than we collected, and had a blast in the process. <BR/><BR/>We even had a scary old woman's house, where it was a rite of passage to climb the dimly lit staircase and snag a candy bar out of the basket she left outside her second-floor room. (She refused to be disturbed, which made her even more frightening and mysterious.) I'll never forget the image of that loooong set of stares with a single bare lightbulb on the ceiling.<BR/><BR/>Today, some kids only know what it'ss like trick-or-treat by going to malls. That's depressing.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13230350513417318151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1162385891811837262006-11-01T04:58:00.000-08:002006-11-01T04:58:00.000-08:00That story makes me smile =)ThanksThat story makes me smile =)<BR/><BR/>ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
